COWRA COMMENTS a Quarterly Newsletter of the Cowra Woodland Birds Program COWRA COMMENTS A quarterly newsletter of the Cowra Woodland Birds Program ISSUE Forty-one – March 2020 SUMMER SURVEYS (8-9 February) CANCELLED The Cowra Woodland Birds Program is a series of projects focussing on woodland birds in the Ramblings from the Chair region with local and visiting birdwatchers carrying out seasonal surveys in the area. John Rankin Survey dates for 2020 Rain and cooler weather have transformed the Cowra landscape. The 18/19 April 41 degree days and the threat of bushfires that forced us to cancel the 11/12 July summer surveys are but a memory. The countryside is a picture in green 10/11 October however it would be premature to call an end to the drought. Cowra Contact Malcolm Fyfe on (02) 4471 8757 or avoided any major bushfires.

Neale Coutanche BUSH FIRES SOUTH COAST Geoff Ball These are photos from two survey sites I have counted the past four years and which were burnt on New Year’s eve. The sites are on the Bendalong - Manyana walkway on the NSW south coast, the figures are for 2 ha 20 minute counts entered into Birdata. The “path” site is in banksia scrub along the pathway and the “bush” site is in coastal eucalypt woodland (see below). The path site was on the fringe of the fire and the bush site was badly burnt per the photo. The area had been very dry the last two years but when I put it all together I was surprised to see the decrease in numbers over that time, before the fire. There are not many birds around in the bush but most of the usual species seem to be turning up all be it in small numbers. After a slow start there now seem to be more birds than usual in the township, which was not burnt. Bushfires on the Mid-north Coast - Hastings Birdwatchers Sue Proust Hastings Birdwatchers watched in dismay last November, as the fires started burning in the mountains to the west of us. These mountains contain some national parks and habitats that are very precious and beautiful. They contain stands of moss-covered antarctic beech forest, cool temperate and sub-tropical rainforests and large stands of old growth wet sclerophyll forest. We had been surveying here for the Critically Endangered Rufous Scrub-bird for 5-6 years. And others had before us. There are other special forest birds – Olive Whistler, Paradise Riflebird, Superb Lyrebird, Spotted Quail-Thrush, Bassian and Russet-tailed Thrushes and lots of others. The fires continued burning until it looked as if the whole of the mountain national parks to the west had been burnt- Cotton-Bimbang, Werrikimbe, Willi Willi, Mummel Gulf National Parks and more north and south. This was truly devastating, as some of these forests are very old and haven’t been burnt for a very long time. The Oxley Highway was closed for quite some time and even when it opened, it was only one lane. When it was properly opened, three of us from the club decided to go and have a look. Mt. Seaview We were pleasantly surprised at first by the lack of apparent damage near Mt Seaview. This is the last cleared farming land before you start the real ascent over the mountains. There was some fire damage on the south side of the road near Mt. Seaview, but looking over towards Mt. Seaview resort, it looked untouched. And as we went up the road, we were relieved to see that the fire damage was patchy, leaving many refuges for fauna. Some of the fires had been relatively cool, leaving the canopy intact. As we drove higher and could see north towards Werrikimbe NP, most of the canopy appeared to be intact and green. Here and there, there was evidence of hot fires on the ridges and the canopy had been burnt. Along the highway, it looked as if they had back burned and trees had been cut down and/or pushed over. But the burnt area was narrow. At many sites, the fire had burnt only the understory. At others, there was quite a lot burnt, large trees down. Further up, the fire or back burn had burnt 20m of one of the Rufous Scrub-bird territories, but one was still calling. Here the fire had burnt one side of the Rainforest (not into the canopy), but spared the other. We looked at one of the Antarctic beech sites and only the edge had been singed, not the beech trees, thankfully. As we got higher, however the fire had obviously been more severe, into the canopy. However, there were signs of recovery here. Cooler Burn Rufous Scrub-bird Site At the top of the mountain, there is a road to the north along which we can find birds not often found on the coast. White-eared Honeyeater, Scarlet Robin, Buff-rumped Thornbill, Rufous Songlark are some of them. We found the fire damage became more obvious as we drove north. The rain had made everything green, but the trees and understorey had been badly burnt. The woodland where we often saw the robin and thornbills obviously had a very hot fire go through. The canopy had been burnt, though there was some epicormic growth. On the adjoining hillside it was worse. Quite a lot of blackened trees, not lots of regrowth and bare soil/rock. It looked as if the fires had been closely followed by torrential rain, carrying away the top soil and seed bank. Near here is a lovely little stream, Warne’s River. A favourite lunch stop and one year, a breeding site for a pair of Satin Flycatchers. None were there when we stopped. The casuarinas had been singed but were still alive. Everything else had been burnt, but there was regrowth and groundcover, not all of it weedy! We tried our luck for scarlet robins and thornbills up the hill and just after I confidently predicted we would not get any, we found both! Regenerating Eucalypt Forest Kangaroo Flat Road The whole time we were birding Peter was putting surveys on birddata. As a club we hope to do many more surveys in the burnt areas over the coming years. Some of the national parks are still closed, but once it is OK, we will resume our Rufous Scrub-bird surveys. This will include Werrikimbe NP which is a Key Biodiversity Area, proclaimed as such for the Rufous Scrub-bird and other species. Members of our club have already started surveys in the coastal parks that were burnt here, especially Lake Innes NR. This was the park south of Port Macquarie that contained a large and important koala population. There will be many other surveys undertaken by our club as the bush recovers. Warne’s River Greetings to all our Cowra birders , Bruce and I are really enjoying our time as caretakers at the Eyre Bird Observatory. The weather began with some very hot days, but starting to get some cooler crisp mornings on the Great Australian Bight. Bruce is now the expert weatherman sending weather details to the Bureau twice a day. We love the Major Mitchells and their entertaining antics in the evening and many other WA inland birds that we are slowly learning to identify. Come and visit -we are here until the end of April! Margo and Bruce Mt Canobolas – more news from Rosemary Stapleton Like many places Mt Canobolas has been affected by the drought however the change since the recent 2-3 inches of rain is remarkable.

  • Australian Alps Education Kit – Teacher's Notes
    teacher’s notes for THE AUSTRALIAN ALPS The Australian Alps, in all their richness, complexity and power to engage, are presented here as a resource for secondary students and their teachers who are studying... • Aboriginal Studies • Geography • Australian History • Biology • Tourism • Outdoor and Environmental Science ...with resources grouped within a series of facts sheets on soils, climate, vegetation, fauna, fire, Aboriginal people, mining, grazing, water catchment recreation and tourism, conservation. EDUCATION RESOURCE TEACHER’S NOTES 1/7 teacher’s notes This is an education resource catering for the curriculum needs of students at Year 7 through 12, across New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. The following snap- shots show the Australian Alps as an effective focus for study. • The alpine and sub-alpine terrain in Australia is extremely small, unique and highly valued as a water supply as well as for its environmental, cultural, historic and recrea- tional significance. • Most of the Australian Alps lie within national parks with state and federal governments working cooperatively to manage these reserves as one bio-geographical area. • Climate, landforms and soils vary as altitude increases and so create a variety of envi- ronments where different plants grow together in communities. These in turn provide habitats for a wide range of wildlife. Many of these plants and animals are found nowhere else in the world and some are considered threatened or endangered. • The Alps reflect a history of diverse uses and connections including Aboriginal occupation, European exploration, grazing, mining, timber saw milling, water harvesting, conservation, recreation and tourism. Retaining links with this past is an important part of managing the region.

  • Namadgi National Park Plan of Management 2010 Summary
    NAMADGI NATIONAL PARK PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2010 SUMMARY Summary of the Namadgi National Park PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 2010 Namadgi’s values Namadgi National Park is the largest conservation reserve in the ACT covering approximately 46% (106 095 ha) of the Territory. The park includes the rugged mountain ranges and broad grassy valleys in the western and southern parts of the ACT. Namadgi protects the Cotter River Catchment, Canberra’s main supply of water and is important for conserving biodiversity. The park’s snow gum woodlands, subalpine fens and bogs, grasslands and montane forest communities provide habitat for a diverse range of species. Namadgi has a rich heritage of human history with evidence of Aboriginal use of the land and remnants of early European pastoral activity. The park is popular for low key recreation including bushwalking, camping, cycling, rock climbing and abseiling. In addition, the Bimberi Wilderness provides a place of solitude for inspiration and wellbeing. Namadgi is one of eleven national parks and reserves in the Australian Alps that are collectively known as the Australian Alps national parks. These parks are managed cooperatively to provide protection for much of the alpine, subalpine and montane environments of mainland Australia. This summary of the Namadgi National Park Plan of Management 2010 provides a brief overview. For more comprehensive information please refer to the full plan of management.

  • Conservation and the Australian Alps Factsheet
    Long ago the Creator made the land, the CONSERVATION people and the natu- ral resources for the people to use. Spirit IN THE AUSTRALIAN ancestors traveled the land and left behind AUSTRALIANALPS ALPS reminders of where they had been, whom they had met and what they had been doing in the form of plants, animals and landforms. There are stories, songs, dances and ceremonies as- sociated with these places, plants and animals. When we see the stars, moun- tains, rivers, hills, plants and animals we remember the stories of the journeys and we know how to live in this country. This is our culture. text: Rod Mason illustration: Jim Williams Conservation refers to the protection, preservation and careful management of the natural Conservation: or cultural environment. This includes the preservation of specific sites or works of art, as a definition well as specific species or areas of country. However, conservation has a different meaning for different people, thus making the management of conservation often complex and controversial. Many of the conservation issues of the Australian Alps reflect these difficulties. For the person who enjoys wilder- ness, conservation is the reservation of large, unspoilt tracts of land. For the scientist, it is the preservation and understanding of ecosystems and the protection of species found there. For bushwalkers and other outdoor recreationists it is conserving natural places that provide opportunities and challenges including mountains to climb, rivers to raft or slopes to ski. For the town planner, it is the protection of natural areas for practical reasons such as water catchment in the Australian Alps.
